Getting a decent job in Sweden
I put this in another forum but I thought I would add it here too in case people check this forum more. Any tips or advice would be great!
I am a 23 year old british girl who is currently living in Värmland, Sweden. I moved here about 7 months ago to live and work. Finding work is not easy. At the moment I am working part time as a cleaner although obviously this is not my aim in life.
I speak fluent swedish. I got a MA degree in Scandinavian Studies from Edinburgh university last year. This degree was 4 years long (including one year abroad in Sweden) and included swedish language and courses on culture, history, literature, translation etc. I have also recently completed the tefl course online.
I feel as though my best chances lie with focusing on the fact that I am a native english speaker, and look for work within translation or english teaching. Although I would also be interested in other work. If anyone has any tips or even knows of any jobs, I would be very interested in hearing from you!
